Best practices for writing J2EE property files

[swmitchell]

Does JB provide any help for writing my own property/configuration files? I want to keep them out of the ear for easy sys-ad access and I want to provide my own webapp interface for reading/writing these files (although I also want to be able to edit them manually as necessary). Does JB have any best practices or guidelines for this problem?

Thanks!

You may want to have a look at the properties service: -

Hi,
I don´t understand how to use the PropertiesService.
I stored some properties in it but I cannot find it later with System.getProperty().
Whats wrong?

regards,

Michael
